Hamilton County, Indiana, offers a beautiful destination with a variety of one-of-a-kind shopping. The destination features a diverse and dynamic shopping scene full of unique and quirky artisans. Here are a few shops you can’t miss.

For the serious art collectors, downtown Carmel’s designated Arts and Design District is home to Kuaba Gallery, offering contemporary African art from local and international artists. All the art is curated by owner Jayne During, a well-known and respected expert on Zimbabwean (Shona) sculptures. During wanted to create a studio and introduce unique art gallery to the area representing people of color. From paintings to sculptures, the gallery offers African art with pieces available to purchase in-store and online. A portion of artwork sales support communities throughout Zimbabwe through its work with Indianapolis-based Kuaba Humanitarian Foundation.

Joann Hofer, X Chocolat Art chocolatier, was introduced to the art of chocolate while living in Austria. After working with international chocolate masters, she decided to open her own local chocolate-making adventure in Carmel in 2011. Her love for art, food and travel are expressed through her award-winning chocolate creations.

Jennifer Wiese started BeeFree Granola in a small kitchen in Noblesville in support of her son Auggy, diagnosed with autism.

Wiese is passionate about spreading awareness and supporting those with disabilities and was even recently named to the Inaugural Noblesville Advisory Council on Disabilities.

Williamsburg Inn Review

You don’t have to love brass chandeliers or brocade to appreciate what Williamsburg Inn does best: delivering a polished, unpretentious stay amid America’s most iconic living history museum. This is where you check in for traditional luxury without feeling like you’re trapped in a time capsule. The Queen stayed here (twice), and so did Eisenhower, but you’re not here to make history. You’re here to enjoy it, on your own terms.

Plan a Legendary Gathering in Honolulu

Myths and origin stories form a powerful framework for the history of Hawai‘i. Marking the horizon behind Honolulu, the ancient volcanic formation of Lē‘ahi — technically a volcanic tuff cone more commonly known to the world as Diamond Head — provides a constant physical reminder of the tales that shaped the history of this location. While researching legends for my Hawai‘i-based Dark Paradise Mysteries series (Kensington Books), I learned the tale of the demigod Maui, who used his enchanted fishing hook to reach into the sea to heave the Hawaiian islands, including Diamond Head, above the surface of the water.
